Who, in an even remotely industrialized country, worships the sun now?

At least the sun is proven to exist, unlike your deity there, Stacey. Get the fuck off Twitter. Your presence is making it even stupider, & considering the constant tweets by Pig Vomit himself, not to mention the various other majini that pollute it, that's really saying something.

The only thing I fear about the sun is that it can fry me like a chicken wing.

We don't sneer at you not-so-ancients for your worship of a Babylonian(?) War and/or Moon god calling himself God/Allah/YHWH. Sure, we're too sophisticated for such things, but you still have a right to worship whatever you want.

Purveyors of science?

The Sun was placed in the center of our solar system many hundred years ago. Or rather, about 4 billion years ago, but humans realized it was in the center about 4 hundred years ago (though some had theorized about it as early as 300 BCE). 16th century scientists are hardly modern purveyors of science...

Scientists rather teach you to take advantage of the sun, to be aware of both the dangers, and the strength and usefulness.

No, the sun is placed at the center of our solar system because the earth and all the planets orbit it. I don't remember any scientists or teachers ever telling me to worship the sun. Though we should revere it because it is the source of life on our planet. Without the sun life on earth would disappear very quickly.
